i am new here a definate newbie 50 years old from Washington State. I have 15 plants all Nirvana. I am using a combination HPS and MH 250 watt. I am in early flowering with that light and a 90 watt UFO Led with cooling fansI have wide growth now looking for length
I am using a dehumidifier with an elecrostat filter I use a bad boy 4x4 t5 Flourescent adjusted horizontally
and get my CO2 from 2 1.5 litre wine bottles with i LB of sugar and 2 tablespoons of active red star yeast. My plants are growing fast and i am not tring to overwater. I am afraid I have males in my cluster.
No balls yet?
using such low watt lights how much time do I have to take the males out?

Hey RIU! Just posting here to say ay! I've got a real simple/incomplete stealth grow-dresser; 1st grow started with 7 plants from bagseed, currently using a mix of daylight and warm fluoros at day 1 of week 6, and I wanted to say thanks for all the great info I've found here so far! Love the faqs, though a lot of the pics links are broken, still gained a lot of info, and thanks to mane's seed bank thread, I'm dying to finish my first grow and get started with some good genetics and some experience! Thanks again guys!

this is my first grow too. I ordered the 6 dual spectrum bubbleponics complete kit from stealth hydro. I also already had 8 plants of just bagweed seeds growing in potting soil that I needed lights for so I bought an additional set of dual spectrum light kits from stealth hydro also. Used 6 gallons of distilled water in the tub and the nutrients that came with the kit. my pH is hangin around 5.75 daily. I ordered seeds from Europe and have 2 Himalayan Gold, 2 white widow, and 2 DN a medical marijuana strain growing. so in an area 26" deep, 58"wide and about 5 ft tall, with foil bubble wrap surrounding on the walls and on the shelf. maitaining a temp of 75-80 degrees in the room. still need a fan down low but have a ceiling fan that goes constantly. They problem is as long as I'mgrowing my daughter won't allow our grandbaby to stay here for fear of what could happen. Its killin me ya'll

Howdy all I am Darkwind aka Jmark I just found your site today and I am amazed at the wealth of information you contain. I am very interested in the cultivation of many plants but have not started any growing yet. I am planning on starting this summer and look forward to everyones valuable input and I hope that I will be able to give some insight of my own. I am personally interested in growing mushies, poppies and of course mj. I hope I can be of help to anyone needing it when I establish my gardens and begin my grow. I hope ya'll have a great 4/20 in a few days here and many more to come.

Till next time. -Jmark

Hello, I go by punkincivic. I'm going to attempt a basic indoor grow in soil and looking here for info. I ordered a book about it and I'll be reading it once it comes. I figure that someone on here can help if there's something that I don't quite get.

As my title says I am very very new at this and would like to share my experience with everyone. So if I say something that is totally "like duh" then please let me know...........here goes:

I had a LB of some bomb ass weed about a month ago and found some seeds at the bottom. I don' know what strain or even the name of the weed, all I know is that when I opened that LB, it was one of the stankyest and stickyest weed I ever had. So, I decided to plant them and one thing led to another. My grow room is 3ft in width 15ft in length and 10ft in heght( a pretty nice walk in closet), The light is only a 100 watt MH, which has been on 24/7 since I started. I know that I need more, but, you know, times are kind of hard these days(I am looking on ebay, they have some pretty good deals, or please if someone has any suggestions let me know). I have different pot sizes, the smallest ones are like 6 inches tall and the tallest ones are about 10 inches tall. I used regular dirt that I bought from walmart(EarthGrow) and am using miracle grow. When I started the temp was about 50 degrees in the closet(something is wrong with the heating vents in that room, there's nothing that I could do about it), but, now it's a bit better at about 70 degrees on average(cause it's finally getting warmer outside!!) For this reason I never kept a fan on them, but, am gonna start now that it is getting warmer. I don't have a ph tester(do I really need one?). I have nothing on the walls, but, white paint(it was always white). That is basically all the important info that I can give up to today that I have done with these plants. I have read so many forums and have so many questions. like: when can I tell male from female? pruning? topping? when should I start flowering. I get so many different answers from forums that I would like someone to give me advice about my certain situation. Please look at my pics and give me any advice. The biggest ones are from the LB that I was talking about. the smaller ones are also some pretty good nugs. The big ones are about 33 days old and the smaller ones are just a week shy of that.
My most important question is"what should i do next?"..... thank you.

Hey everyone. This is not my first time growing, it is my second. My first attempt was fairly successful considering that I was only growing using 3 of the Walmart brand 18" florescent grow lights. The worst thing about last time though is about after the 2nd week of flowering I was arrested for cultivation of Mj within 1000 feet of a community center which is a felony, after about my second week in jail I received information from my attorney that my charge was being dropped due to tampering with evidence "stupid cops think those little plants look nice to I guess." Well on this attempt I have chosen to have a stealth grow in a computer case I just have sitting under my desk, I have a couple 100w cfl's that I am going to try to use. well hello everyone this is a little about me.

how many plants can grow in a 4x4 ebb and flow flood and drain? 250 watt hd for veg...and 1000 watt for flowering?

Hello everyone.. blessings to all who come here to learn about this compassionate cause... Just wanting to say hi because i am here now.. like it or not.. somewhat like this wonderful and brilliantly written law.. thanks for being here to help people.. Annie

Hello everyone hope im doing this right im new to this site as well as growing. got a couple of questions. first im in a completly unfinished basement and i sectioned off a 9ft*9ft and 7ft tall aera with white sheets i have a fan a 1000watt hps light ebb and flow system will i been fine or do i need to put walls and all that up.

Hey guys, Dooby Mcgee here, Im just saying hi and trying to introduce myself and get some knowledge and helpful info cuz i'm totally new at this. I've only tried growing once before with a friend of mine using an aerogarden that we bought but our other roommate had to ruin it for us, so this time I'm going solo at it and I've been reading around in forums and some books here and there and I think Ive decided on a stealth grow (in a locker,cabinet, or some other kind of big encasing that I can set everything up in and customize). I'm really not trying to make anything too big bcuz i only have a tiny laundry room where my washer and dryer are supposed to go to work with. I was thinking of maybe only like 3 plants at a time bcuz this operation is really only for personal use and some close friends that are also tired of getting ripped off or dealing with unreliable people. If some can please give me some help or advice I would really appreciate it and I will also lend a hand with anything that I can. Also, I'm not even sure how to post or reply to these threads and posts so if this is the wrong way, please let me know. Again, thanks for reading and hope to hear from people soon.

i live in south carolina woods are in big supply and i kow a grow spot by a creek if the plants are near the water source will the roots be able to pull watter themselfs or will i still have to carry water to them ad whats the best way to transport the plants from house to grow site its a short walk

Registered a few days ago an have been absorbing some information. What a great place for knowledge. I have a small setup going now with some seedlings. I got lucky an found a seed from a bag of Blue Dream. I plan on doing a CFL grow for now since I am on a very limited budget due to being medically disabled. I also am into gardening and once I become more involved here I would love to join in on some of the fun grow competitions with other kinds of plants with the members of this community.

Not sure how much I can help but... are ya sure someone is stealing your plants an not an animal eating them? Sounds like you have a "guerilla grow" since you mentioned "went to your site". Have you told anyone? The media is a toss up, that ratio may work great for you. There are plenty of threads & faqs around RUI about media substrates. I personally am using MG Organic Choice Garden Soil(50%) MG Perilte(25%) MG Peatmoss(25%). This media is for my practice grows before I jump head deep into Growing.

Hello all, I would like opinions on FIM vs. Top. Also, any thoughts on the stress on the plants and whether or not watering/fertilizing should change when FIMMED or Topped?

Hi everone newbie here I got some seeds from attitude they showed up fast. Master kush and Super lemon Haze. Well one of the MK sprouted two plants I for sure only put one in and it had twins. What now? Store bought organic soil so no chance of it being anything else.

Should I let it grow I hate to try to get it out my friend said to cover up the small one with soil he thinks the taproot caught some light.

This is an amazing site to learn and see what other people are doing. I dont know how many times ive come on here to research a problem ive ran into.

if i cant find a clear cut answer in my marijuana horticulture book im here lookin at threads. now that im signed up ill hafto make one for myself.

a friend and i grew out a huuuge great white shark clone in his garden. i could lay down next to it and it was wider than i was tall and looked like it was 4 plants next to eachother. an amazing plant that inspired me to really get my shit together.

well somehow i found one seed in it and im growing it out now. about 3 weeks from end of flowering and it looks like a mini version of its mother.. (even tho it probly got pollinated by some guys bag seed 5 miles away or sometjhing)

its great to have joined and keep sharing techniques and buds!
